Chapter Forty-Nine: Woe to the Wall
Yuan Shang was equipped with soft armor, a robe on the outside, and a military uniform, surrounded by dozens of halberd warriors, and walked towards Yuan Tan's mansion with a menacing attitude. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
The moon is bright and the stars are sparse, and the sky is exceptionally clear tonight, and it is foreseeable that tomorrow will be a good day, but on such a day, the entire Yecheng is covered by the sound of fierce fighting.
There was a bloody smell in the air, and hundreds of people were huddled at home in a panic, how long has it been since such a scene appeared? In my memory, even if Yuan Shao took away Han Fu's foundation, he basically took Yecheng bloodlessly, since the Yellow Turban, in the past 20 years, Yecheng has not seen a war, and the sudden bloody wind and rain have made countless Yecheng people panicked.
"Lord, there is no one in the house!" Outside Yuan Tan's mansion, a halberd warrior rushed out and said to Yuan Shang.
"No one?" Yuan Shanghe's faces changed with the faces of several strategists behind him, where would Yuan Tan be at this time?
"Not good!" The judge's face changed suddenly, and he turned his head to look at Yuan Shangdao: "Lord, hurry, order General Gao Ran to attack Linshui, since the eldest prince is not here, he must have secretly gone out of the city to join Linshui Yuanjin, if Yuanjin takes advantage of the chaos to attack the city, we have planned before, and it will be a failure!" ”
"What?" Yuan Shang's face changed greatly, and he turned his head to look at a halberd warrior and said sharply: "Immediately pass my order and order General Gao Ran to attack the Linshui camp!" ”
"Whoa!" The halberd man agreed, quickly turned on his horse, and rushed out of the city.
The sound of fighting in Yecheng continued, Yuan Shang's face sank like water, and he looked at the judge and said: "Inform Zhang He to defeat Jiang Yiqu and Jiang Ji's soldiers and horses as soon as possible, and before dawn, Yuan Tan's soldiers and horses in the city must be cleared." ”
"Yes." The judge agreed, and was about to leave, when suddenly a dense sound of footsteps came, and everyone looked back, and their faces couldn't help but change greatly.
"Kill!" In the darkness, under the illumination of countless torches, Yuan Tan dressed in military uniform, led a large number of soldiers to roar out of the alley.
"Yuan Tan, why is he here?" Yuan Shang said incredibly flusteredly, and where did this team come from?
"Yuan Shang, you killed your father and usurped the throne, heaven and earth do not tolerate it, today, I will use your head to pay tribute to my father's spirit in the sky!" Yuan Tan Ji pointed at Yuan Shang, and shouted: "Where is Yuan Jin, take down this unfilial disciple with me." ”
In the crowd, a general jumped out of the horse, dressed in a goose feather armor majestic in the moonlight, but at this moment, he looked at Yuan Shang with a sinking face, hugged his fists, and said in a deep voice: "Third son, surrender with your hands tied!" If there is anything, go to the grave of the Lord and talk about it! ”
Yuan Shang's gloomy gaze swept over Wei Yuanjin, dozens of halberd warriors were guarding in front of him, but they could not bring any sense of security to Yuan Shang, although Yuan Yuanjin was not as dazzling as the Hebei Siting Pillar, but he was also a rare fierce general under Yuan Shao, and now the generals around Yuan Shang have been sent out, I thought that the overall situation was in hand, but who would have thought that now he was countered to an army.
"Pedal Pedal ~"
Just when Yuan Shang was helpless, the sound of dense footsteps sounded again, but he saw that in the dark, Zhang He led a group of soldiers and horses to quickly converge towards this side, Yuan Shang and the others were desperate, with a surprised expression on their faces.
"Zhang He?" A haze flashed in Yuan Tan's eyes, he had secretly contacted Zhang He before, but he was rejected by the other party without hesitation, and also let Yuan Tan know that in Zhang He's heart, he was born in He. Yuan Shang in the north is the most suitable heir, even if Yuan Shang kills his father and brother, these rivers. The northern generals and strategists still stood firmly behind Yuan Shang.
"Wei Yuanjin, you don't have an order, how dare you bring troops into the city without authorization?" Zhang He looked at Wei Yuanjin and shouted coldly.
"Haha~" Wei Yuanjin looked at Zhang He with disdain: "If I don't come, wouldn't today's eldest prince be harmed by these people who committed rebellion, killed their father and killed their brother?" ”
Seeing Zhang He's silence, Wei Yuanjin said sharply: "Zhang Junyi, let me ask you, do you know that the lord was killed by a poisonous woman?" ”
Zhang He was silent, the dignity of the martial artist, he was not allowed to lie, he did know about this matter, he wanted him to deny it, he couldn't do it, he looked up at Wei Yuanjin and said: "The lord is dead, and now it is useless to dispute these again, we are courtiers, and the lord's family affairs should not be asked by us, now there are tigers in the west of Jizhou, Cao Cao in the south, and there is the heart of annexing Jizhou earlier, and the lord is newly mourned. ”
"What a fratricide!" Wei Yuanjin laughed loudly, pointed the steel gun in his hand at Yuan Shang, his eyes suddenly turned sharp, and he roared angrily: "If you want me to be loyal to such a fatherless and kingless, cruel murderer, then I, Yuan Jin, would rather give this Jizhou away, than if he continues to be in charge of Jizhou, he will be embarrassed for the lord!" ”
Yuan Shang's face was pale, and his eyes flashed with terrifying murderous intent when he looked at Wei Yuanjin.
"Presumptuous!" Without waiting for Yuan Shang to speak, behind Zhang He, a general had already been killed by flying horses, rushing towards Wei Yuanjin, and said sharply: "It's just a slaughterer, dare to commit a crime and humiliate the lord!" ”
"My lord?" Wei Yuanjin sneered, did not answer, stepped forward, the steel gun in the tent was rolled out flatly, without any fancy, in the other party's contemptuous gaze, suddenly accelerated, a shot broke the opponent's throat, blood sprayed on the face, the general with a stunned gaze with the forward charge of the war horse fell down.
Wei Yuanjin wiped the blood stains on his face, and pointed the steel gun at Yuan Shang and said sharply: "Soldiers, kill me!" ”
Zhang He's face sank like water, the silver spear in his hand swung down fiercely, and he said sharply: "Kill!" ”
The two armies collided in the alley like two torrents, and the sound of fighting became one, Yuan Shang had dozens of halberds on his side to take the lead, and he was extremely brave, but Yuan Yuanjin was occupying a numerical advantage here, and in the alley, the power of the halberd warriors could not be exerted at all, but was constantly squeezed and retreated by Yuan Jin's side with the advantage of numbers.
A halberd soldier waved the halberd in his hand, slashed two soldiers, but was approached by another soldier, the halberd did not have time to turn, and was slashed to the ground by the other party, the thick halberd is not suitable for fighting in this narrow terrain at all, often a halberd soldier in the fight of two or three enemy soldiers, then rushed up the soldiers to kill, dozens of halberd warriors are just a moment of effort, they were annihilated in the sea of people, see Yuan Shang's heart dripping blood, this halberd is Yuan Shao left the trump card in his hand, if used well, these dozens of euphorbia warriors can even kill three times or more elite cavalry, but now they are dying in this meaningless hedge.
It's just that the fight has begun at this moment, even if he wants to retreat, he can't retreat, he can only watch a famous euphorbia fall in a pool of blood, the elite, especially the elite of the long weapon like the euphorbia, in such a street battle, it is really too much of a loss.
"General Zhang, have the other forces in the city been cleared?" Yuan Shang looked at Zhang He worriedly, and the appearance of Yuan Jin made him have a bad premonition.
"The third prince can rest assured, Jiang Yiqu and Jiang Ji's troops have been defeated, and General Su You is organizing to clean up the defeated army." Zhang He arched his hand.
Yuan Shang couldn't help frowning slightly when he heard this, now that the judge and others have changed their words to call him the main father, only Zhang He is still commensurate with the third son, does this mean that Zhang He also has a problem with him in his heart?
was unhappy in his heart, but Yuan Shang did not show it on his face, he knew that at this time, he must not be without the support of Zhang He.
"Mobilize other soldiers and horses as soon as possible to encircle and suppress Yuan Tan!" Yuan Shang glanced at Yuan Tan's banner behind the crowd and snorted coldly.
Zhang He nodded expressionlessly, and the troops began to gradually move back to disadvantage under his command, and at the same time, a steady stream of men and horses came from all directions, including the rout of Yuan Tan's side and the troops of Zhang He's side, and the fighting gradually spread from Yuan Tan's mansion as the center to all around.
In the night, outside Yecheng, a knight rushed in the direction of Yecheng with a thick color of wind and dust.
"Quick, faster!" Lu Kuang frantically urged the war horse under his crotch, turning his head to look back from time to time, as if something was chasing him in the infinite darkness.
Yecheng is already in sight, Lu Kuang's face is flushed with joy, Lu Bu suddenly killed from Taihang Mountain, straight into Handan, the front of the army, the defenders of Guangping County can't stop it at all, what's more terrifying, Lu Bu doesn't pay attention to the counties along the way, even if someone opens the door and surrenders, he just orders someone to take over the city, but the army is killing Yecheng in the starry night, even if a county town like Handan can't stop Lu Bu.
As soon as the news of the lord's death reached Guangping County, Lu Bu followed closely and killed him, and it seemed that the main force was all out, and the troops of Guangping County could not stop Lu Bu's footsteps at all.
It is clear that after learning the news of the death of the lord, and knowing that there is an opportunity, he wants to capture Yecheng in one fell swoop!
The war horses galloped under the moonlight, and the walls of Yecheng were getting closer and closer, but Lu Kuang's face gradually became solemn, and on the walls of the huge Yecheng, there were only a few torches burning, and what was even more terrifying was that there was a faint sound of fierce fighting in the city, which could be faintly heard even if it was a few miles away.
Lu Bu came in one step ahead of himself!?
Lu Kuang's first reaction was that Lu Bu was coming, but then he thought about it and felt that he was alone, but Lu Bu was marching with a large army, how could he arrive one step ahead of him.
The sound of horses' hooves attracted the attention of the soldiers on the city wall, and several soldiers in charge of guarding looked at Lu Kuang vigilantly: "Who is coming?" ”
There was civil strife in Yecheng.
Looking at the banner of Yuan Zi still flying high in the city, Lu Kuang's mood not only did not improve, but became more evil, not Lu Bu, that is to say, Yecheng was in chaos first, and he chose to be at this critical juncture.
Taking a deep breath, Lu Kuang couldn't care about these messy things, and said loudly: "I am the general Lu Kuang, Lu Bu's troops went out of Taihang, and almost the entire county of Guangping County fell, who is in charge of the city now?" ”
The guard general in the city hesitated for a moment and said loudly: "General Lu waits for a while, and the last general will go to tell the lord." ”
"Open the city gate for me first, and I'll go to see the two sons in person!" Lu Kuang said angrily.
"This ......" several soldiers guarding the gate hesitated.
Lu Kuang said impatiently: "Jizhou is in danger, at this time, how can I afford the slightest delay, open the door quickly, are you afraid that I will not be able to break through the city alone?" If the military plane is delayed, will you have to bear the consequences? ”
"Wait a minute, the general will open the city gate!" The guard gritted his teeth and said in a deep voice, "Open the door!" (To be continued.) )
